Re: Flop a set is this a flop 3 bet or wait til turn?

I would flat call flop and and check-raise turn, but not massively. I think TPGK gives you call, especialyl with fishy players. I dont like threebet on flop because then you scare off a lot of...

Re: Is a call terrible? AKo OOP misses flop

Im not saying raise for value. My point is that if this player is capable of betting a pocketpair, then wouldnt it be better to raisem, since every hand youre beating still loses the pot, and...

Re: deep 3/6 hand. short handed

Man, you have to raise at some point. Come on. Dont play deep stacked if you're goign to be this passive with a flopped queen high flush. Your justification for not raising flop is becuase he...

Re: Post your best expert play!

Seems pretty standard to me. A play I learned recently that's also relatively standard but that a lot of people don't see the value in is the play of overpairs and TPTK on safe boards. Here's an...

Re: Running it twice...

This is a good idea if:

It doesn't slow the game down too much.
You can't handle variance.
If someone in the hand goes broke, the game would break.

Re: $200nl - Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh

The thing about minraises at this level is people only usually do it when they love their hand. Just reraise the flop, he'll payoff almost every time, especially given the number of scare cards that...

Raise the flop to $35.

Turn is an obvious raise. Go for $110 as played. Give them a glimmer of hope, but don't scare off the club draw.

Re: AA & Villain pushes on River

I like turn bet to try to get to showdown, and I think fold here is correct. If he was gonna wake up with a hand like 77-TT he probably raises turn.

Re: PP $200 - River play with boat

Bet. Just like everyone's already mentioned, you get value from exactly a draw by checking, and a draw's a pretty thin read here, given the smallish turn raise. I dont see a semi-bluff making it 75...

Re: 5/10 I (sorta) make my hand on the turn

A lot of posters seem pretty convinced the c/raise all in on turn accomplishes the opposite of what a bet is supposed to do--it makes worse hands fold and better hands call.

I'm not convinced,...

Re: The Dilemma

We can agree, right, that the decision is between raising and calling, right? Folding is out of hte question?

Additionally, I think if you raise, it has to be a big one. I think a pot sized raise...
